Bastie-- All you need is a text editor. Notepad in Windows, or BBEdit on the Mac OS work great. Heck, you can use InDesign itself. There's a debugger built into InDesign (which is good, as external debuggers will not work). Just save your scripts with the file extension ".js" to the Scripts folder inside the Presets folder in your InDesign folder, and they'll appear in the Scripts palette (and can be run/debugged from there). There's a section in the tutorial chapter of the Scripting Guide (in the Scripting folder inside the Adobe Technical Info folder on your InDesign CS CD) that describes the process of using the built-in debugger. Thanks, Ole
